In the block, just above the oil pan....just rear of the motor mount. Goodluck getting it in, it can be a PITA.

You did not need a different dipstick. the bottom 4.6 is the same. the heads are the same. only thing that was differnt was the runners and cams on the heads.

The way to get the dipstick in is with alot of paitence and some imagenation.. it will get in.. just gotta rotate the damn thang..lol.. good luck.

It runs behind the header primaries (between the #6 & 7 cylinders) & through the motor mount. It's a real bitch to get in without removing the motor mount. But it can be done.
& no, you did not have to remove the dipstick.
